Respectfully, saying “don’t take the bait” is a version of obeying in advance - this is just tsk tsking a community for engaging in militant self-defense / counterviolence. The right/Trump will create a pretext for Insurrection Act etc, no matter how “peaceful” the opposition is

no need to compare ICE to german Gestapo. it’s found in US history when slave owners sent thugs door-to-door to catch Black folks no matter whether they’re were ‚free’ or had run away. In Boston some wyt folks formed the Anti-Man-Hunting League and chased the manhunters out

we are powerful & courageous they are cowards

this is fucking incredible

HEY MAINE! The legendary @meganpiont.bsky.social updated one of her "How to Report ICE" printable one-page pocket zines with MIRC's hotline number - link in next post. These pair very nicely w/ a fine loud whistle this time of year; should you need help with production/assembly, just say the word.

Gently: I think the sweet little leftist fiction that right-wing politics are the result of epistemic gaps---that you can just newsletter and educate and evangelize your way to leftism---is dead. Consider: many people want to hurt others. Want to feel superior. Want to inflict pain on the lesser.

⚠️ Help needed ⚠️ Researchers are trying to collect & inform on hostile media/agitators that can be referenced during ICE escalations. Tag with #hostilemedia & location identifiers. Ex: #hostimediaMN #hostilemediaME #hostilemediaCBUS #hostilemediaMNPLS We've started an example thread here (1/🧵)

It seems there is some concern of #hostilemedia in Maine, given, well, a potential surge of ICE into Lewiston. I'll be reviewing a good amount of work by the indefatigable @crashbarry.bsky.social & @aobrien2024.bsky.social, whom have a good bead on who the bad players might be. Thread follows:

🔥 From @statuscoupnews.bsky.social : “This is nuts. What the fuck is going on? I’ve never protested in my life… they tell you it’s immigrants — it’s fucking anybody. They’re just trying to scare people. I’m not paid to be here. I have to work in the morning. This is wrong.”

New: meet ELITE, the Palantir app ICE is using to find neighborhoods to raid. Map interface; officers search for immigrants; click person to bring up individual dossier. This is clearest link between what Palantir is building and ICE's activities on the ground yet www.404media.co/elite-the-pa...

New from @stevanzetti.bsky.social and @tristanl.ee: Through analysis of publicly available information, interviews and in-person observation, the Observer identified multiple companies in the Dallas-Fort Worth area operated by individuals with connections to Patriot Front.

Hey folks, @mxscottkernest.bsky.social and some other colleagues are trying to help someone in need get out of a bad situation. I can’t really share the details of this person’s situation for safety and privacy reasons but if you’re interested in antifascist causes, this is a very good one.

Racial segregation is the Republican position in 2026

Props to the lady giving an interview in her pink UFFDA hat and saying, "well, gosh, I've never had tear gas and flashbangs shot at me, but I'm happy to take it so my neighbors are safe."

White Supremacists look at New England as a safe heaven for it's seemingly favorable racial demographics, which is one of the reasons Blood Tribe leader Chris Pohlhaus tried to make a compound in ME until he was chased out by community members. Mainers you can do the funniest thing again.

WHAT WE ARE FIGHTING IS EVIL, AND IT MUST BE FOUGHT

😬😬😬

Good to see all the police tricks, including snitching and disguises. apnews.com/article/immi...

This. I am done returning to the status quo of what got us here. I want universal healthcare. I want a maximum wage tied to the minimum wage. I want omnipresent, cheap public transit and walkable neighborhoods. I want Supreme Court and police reform, and I want the rich to pay their fair share.

NEW: We obtained 100 gigabytes of data from unlisted websites associated with Canary Mission, revealing their internal workings, employees, and an internal website called BlackNest where the group celebrated its “impacts”— arrests and deportations. www.dropsitenews.com/p/canary-mis...

One of the things the ICE leak mess highlights is how good the @ddosecrets.com folks are at what they do. Handling comms around something like this is hard, and journalists and influencers are going to do everything they can to help you fuck it up.

these people hate the very concept of civilization

Shouldn't it be a bigger story that the immigration cops are seizing and imprisoning people who CANNOT POSSIBLY BE IMMIGRANTS

Thread.

Periodic reminder that large data leaks often have misleading information that needs to be verified and corroborated, and that just drawing conclusions without doing so is irresponsible.

Hey @warren.senate.gov, this is fucking loser shit right here. The correct answer is you will never vote for funding increases under any condition because you are abolishing ICE like your constituents want. #Massachusetts #mapoli #AbolishICE

The biggest electoral challenge in America is getting voters to believe the indisputable reality that their government is full of nazi freaks

I allege that Jake Alex Hayden of Brockton MA, member of Patriot Front apparently since the age of 16, participated in both the assault of Charles Murrell III during July 2022 and the Comité du 9-Mai march through Paris during May 2024.

We SHOULD expect more from white men, and that includes not being sniveling little defeatists in my mentions

I broke the story yesterday that masked ICE agents (not DOJ) were removing items including a personal computer from the home of Jonathan Ross, the ICE agent who shot Renee Good. I have yet to see a single news outlet cover this or an elected official even acknowledge it.

Yesterday Elon Musk retweeted "white solidarity is the only way to survive". In our numb overwhelmed media environment it barely made headlines that the world's richest man endorsed blood-curdling white nationalism. My brief writeup for @religiondispatches.org religiondispatches.org/elon-musk-ju...

It's very clear at this point that the Trump administration's line is "If you're a lesbian with a smart mouth, you deserve to be executed in the street like Kristi Noem's dog". This is an agency whose employees commit systematic sexual assault against lesbians and trans men. It's genocidal.

they didn’t leak it to make the shooter look innocent, but to make the victim look guilty. not guilty of a crime. guilty of having a visibly queer wife. guilty of liberalism. guilty of opposing the regime. they don’t seek to exonerate themselves, only to demonstrate who deserves to die.

a government agent, who murdered a civilian for peacefully protesting, flying a dont-tread-on-me flag is such a perfect distillation of the maga ethos it almost feels fake

i just watched this video and the fact that they believe this to be exculpatory is genuinely insane

Went out last night tired and cold and frustrated. Dipped into dwindling emotional and social reserves just to make it to the event. It felt important to be there to help show Boise's incredible heart, tenacity, and capacity for solidarity. Came away more charged up than before the event. Refilled.

INFILTRATION ANNOUNCEMENT In light of some recent developments we thought it would be important to share our infiltration of White Vanguard and Youth Alliance and some of the notable things we picked up.

🚨 Minneapolis Thread of Agitators🚨

ICE has murdered THIRTY TWO PEOPLE in detention centers. Four in the last week. www.msn.com/en-us/news/c...

just gonna post this thread again

wow really helpful, thank you new york times

if you're somewhat who is frustrated that the name "Renee Good" has broken thru when so many others who deserved it before did not, you're justified in that you are right to feel anger at who gets the benefit of empathy and who gets suspicion but do you want to be right, or do you want to win?

yes, it's true that lots of things should have been startling people into action long before now but like with the kidnapping of Maduro and open gangster threats to Cuba, Mexico, and Greenland absent almost any pretext, it is an alarming escalation to see them not even bother with pretexts anymore

Abolishing ICE is the bare minimum. We need to dismantle DHS. We need restitution. And we need trials.

losing my mind at the "she should have followed directions" people really? really? you're cool with "if you don't follow directions, they get to kill you"? that seems like a good state of affairs to you? that seems like how law enforcement ought to work: instant obeisance or death?

The murders will continue until something is done. Democrats are messaging on affordability today.

I like Walz but this is dumb as fuck. These are evil people doing evil shit. They’ve done it to Walz himself!! Call out evil fuckers instead of being so goddamned bewildered and confused. Fuck.

"Meanwhile, witnesses said a doctor was at the scene and tried to help the woman who had been shot, but the ICE agents refused to let the doctor in to help. Up to 15 minutes later, an ambulance arrived but was blocked by ICE vehicles that had occupied the street." www.fox9.com/news/minneap...

NEWS: In a heartbreaking video, after ICE shot and killed a woman in Minneapolis, a woman who was in the same SUV cries out: “They killed my wife. I don’t know what to do." “We stopped to videotape, and they shot her in the head,” the distraught woman sobs. www.advocate.com/news/minneso...

I think we are seeing that the government does believe it has the right to murder US citizens as it sees fit. If they didn’t, it’d be pretty simple to sacrifice this one agent and go back to kidnapping.
